Editions without dates are inserted in what is supposed to be theii*
[ironological position.
I.
OEMS, CHIEFLY IN THE SCOTTISH DIALECT. By Robert Burns.
" The simple Bard, unbroke by rules of art,
He pours the wild effusions of the heart :
And if inspir'd, 'tis Nature's pow'rs inspire—
Hers all the melting thrill, and hers the kindling fire.' '
— Anonymous.
KUmamock: Printed by John Wilson, m.dco.lxxxvi. [Demy Octavo.

350 of these were subscribed for — Copies are now very rare.]

M.D. oc.LXXxvii. [The Second Edition — with Portrait and list of Subscribers
— in the form of a handsome Octavo^was Published in April. " In con-
sequence of the celebrity acquired by the Author, and the exertions of
several friends, two thousand eight hundred copies of this publication were
bespoken by about fifteen hundred individuals, many taking two, four, ten,
and even twenty copies. Mr. Creeoh appeared in the list as a subscriber for
five hundred copies, which he designed for general sale." — Robert
Chambers.]

3EMS, CHIEFLY IN THE SCOTTISH DIALECT. By Robert Burns. Dublin:
Printed for William Gilbert, Great George's Street. m,d,oo,lxxxix.
[This, tho' but a small 12mo., of 274 Pages, contains aJl the Poems in the
Second Edition, with Portrait by Halpin. Chambers does not notice this
Edition. It is, in short, a pirated re-print.]
VI.
POEMS, CHIEFLY IN THE SCOTTISH DIALECT. By Robert Burns. In
Two Volumes (bound ia one.) Belfast: Printed by William Magee, Bridge
Street. M,D,ocxcra. [12mo.— with Portrait by Halpin. The Second Vol.
of this Edition is peculiar. There are several Pieces in it which are not con-
tained in the Second Edition, while some pieces are inserted which are " much
in the style of Bubns, but are the productiou of a Scottish Bard of the
name of John Main/' among; which is a Poem, " Hallowe'en." The " apples,
pears, and nits," Fairies^ Witches^ throwing the clue, and all the rest of the
charms and spells are noticed. "Tam o* Shanter "— the real "Tam o*
Shanter " — is also in this Second Vol. Chambers notices this Edition, and
dates it 1787, but the title bears date 1793 (though there may have been
a previous Edition of it). It is prefaced with the extract from No. 97 of
"The Lounger."]
VII.
POEMS. CHIEFLY IN THE SCOTTISH DIALECT. By Robert Burns. In
Two Volumes (bound in one.) A New Edition. Considerably Enlarged.
Edinburgh : Printed for T. Cadell, London, and William Creech, Edin-
burgh. MDCOXCiV. [Post Octavo— with Beugo*s Portrait. This was the
last Edition published in the Author's lifetime, and of which he superin-
tended the printing. Lt.-Col. Cunningham, son of Allan Cunningham,
Esquire, the famed Biographer of Burns — draws our attention to an altera-
tion in the last verse of the postscript to the *• Earnest Cry and Prayer,''
in this firom previous Editions — which is made to read thus : —
" Scotland^ my auld respected mither !
Tho' whiles you mostify your leather,
Till when ye speak, ye aiblins blether ;
Yet deil mak matter !
Freedom and Whisky gang thegither,
Tak aflf your whitter. "
CoL C. says, this reading has not been followed, *' as it ought to have been^^
Kf in any future Edition. We have mentioned this in our circle of literary
friends, but they don't agree with the 1794 reading. The Original, which, as
we have said, has been adhered to in all other Editions, runs: —
" Scotland^ my auld, respected mither !
Tho' whiles ye mostify your leather,
Till whare ye sit, on craps o' heather.
Ye tine your dam ;
Freedom and Whisky gang thegither,
Tak aff your dram ! "]

friend to give a short sketch of the Life of Robert Burns, to be prefixed
to a small edition of his Poems; because my friend was unwilling to en-
croach on the literary property of other editors. I complied with the
request, and made a present of my trifling, but, to me, pleasant labours to
the Publishers; so that I had no interest of a pecuniary nature in tbe sale
of the publication, nor was I consulted with regard to the selection of the
Poems. (It is nothing, however, but a complete collection of the Poems
and Songs published by the Poet himself, and his most esteemed editors.)
My sole design was to give what I considered a fair and impartial character
of the Bard, avoiding the extravagant panegyrics of one class of writers, and
the uncharitable omw adversas of another.*' — Rev. Hamilton Paul's Pam-
phlet, " A Foretaste of Pleasant Things. Air, 1828."J

But while the lark soars high in air.
Still may the grateful pilgrim stop
To bless the spot that holds thy dust !

THE LIFE And WORKS OF ROBERT BURNS. Edited by Robert Chambers.
In Four Volumes. William and Robert Chambers, London and Edinburgh,
1859 and 1860. [Demy 12mo. The plan adopted in this work is—" The
various compositions are strung in strict chronological order upon the
memoir, and are made to render up the whole light they are qualified to throw
upon the history of the life and mental progress of Burns. At the sa,me
t|me, a new significancy is given to them by their being read in connection
with the current of events and emotions which led to their production." It
may be thought to be lighting a farthing candle to show the sun, for us to
make a single remark regarding this popular Edition, even to say that the
task undertaken has been most successfully carried out; but certainly such
is the fact. Mr. Chambers has collected many productions of the Poet
hitherto unknown. The Glossary is given in Marginal Notes. No lover of.
Burns ought to be without this Edition.]

forms Two Vols, of what the Publishers call' the ** Golden Treasury Series."
This is an excellent Edition — excellent especially in its typography and
general get-up. The Life is characterized by Mr, Smith's peculiar grace
and ease as a prose writer, as well as the mannerism into which he occasion*
ally lapses. Still, while we dislike nothing that has the name of BguNS
stamped on it, we must confess that throughout his " Biographical Preface^
he scarcely gives the Poet /air play^ — does not write about him with that
feeling and enthusiasm (if we may so speak) which animated Professot
Wilson, Cunningham, Chambers, or even our own Gunnyon. The Me*
moir is short. The closing peroration is a very beautiful point in it. Mr.
Smith, in getting np the Biography, had the use of the original MSS. of Bctrns'
" Common-place Book,*' which his Publishers had purchased from an Edin-
burgh friend, who bought it at a sale in London.]

And few have won a greener wreath
Than that which binds his hair.*

ADDENDA,
Containing a List of Editions of Burns besides those
given in the preceding pages ^ and which are not
contained in the Private Library ^ James M'Kie,
Thus far into the Editions of Bubns kave we marched onwards. Oar last
visit to Dublin materially increased our number of old and rare Editions,
and by hunting up from Edinburgh and London Catalogues, and through
the kindness of friends, they have come to the extent noted in the pre-
ceding pages. Stilly with all the ferreting of ourselves and friends, the
following Addenda show that there have been nearly as many more Edi-
tions published, which we htwe not, as there are in our possession.
In collecting the foregoing List, and furnishing copy to make up these
Addenda, we have been greatly assisted by friends in London, Edin-
burgh, Glasgow, and Kilmarnock, to whose cop2/t in all cases, we have
H^ick exactly. Most materially have we been indebted to a gentleman, our
old, much respected, and kind friend,-^a companion of our early days, — Mr.
James Gibson, of Bradford ; while, to fiU up any blanks, we have had re-
course to copying from Mr. R, Chaicbebs' "Bibliography of Bubns.*' •
Our commimications with our cerrespondents have been of the most
pleasing and gratifying nature, and the interest that they, and " The Trade,"
and many others, have taken in the publication of the Fac-JSimtle of the
Original Kilmarnock Edition of ^' Poems, chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, by
BoBEBT Bubns," to which this Pamphlet is meant as an accompaniment, we
shall not soon forget, and we take this opportunity of tendering them our
most sincere thanks. The Edition, amounting to 600 Copies, is already
entirely subscribed. An Edition of a work being subscribed before the
paper can begot made, on which to print it, is as far as we know, without
a parallel in the history of literature.
